I have concerns that the employee speech provision is a little too broad.
In particular, I would like it to be clarified that the provisions in the first paragraph apply when they are on school time or in their role as school employees and not in their personal lives. While I am generally of the hope that as human beings, we can all be civil to each other, I would hope that an employees personal annoyance with someone outside of school business would not be cause for censure and the policy as stated does not make that explicit.
I am also concerned that an employee who is also a parent and who is advocating policy as a parent could be broadly considered to be "disrupting or interfering with District Policy." I know of several educators in town who've been privately censured for speaking out as a parent.
Thank you,
